Summary:
Young Scholars of Western Pennsylvania Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Young Scholars of Western Pennsylvania Charter School District. With a total enrollment of 299 students, the school faces significant academic challenges, particularly in math and English language arts proficiency.
The school's math and ELA proficiency rates consistently fall below the state averages across all grade levels, ranging from 12% to 48.6% in math and 30.4% to 55.5% in ELA. While science proficiency is closer to the state average, the overall academic performance suggests the school may need to focus on improving its core instructional programs. Additionally, the school serves a population where 100% of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
Despite the school's relatively high spending of $20,025 per student and small class sizes with a student-teacher ratio of 7.8 to 1, these factors do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The school's leadership may need to closely examine its resource allocation and instructional practices to better support the needs of its students and drive academic progress.
